Any users having font issues with RobotBuilder and Win10?

RobotBuilder is behaving strangely on my new Windows10 laptop.
The fonts are incredibly tiny, but worse yet the space allocated for a given line of font is not as tall as the font itself-- leaving the middle 50% of the character visible, but losing the upper and lower 25%.

A screen capture of part of the window is attached-- the menus are fine, but the text in the other panes is... pane-full.

I am suspecting some strange interaction between Win10 and RobotBuilder and maybe Java itself (U66 and U73 behave the same)... but nothing is jumping out at me.

I tried the obvious things of going into Settings... and changing font sizes, scaling (larger and smaller), magnification, etc. Some of these seem to ultimately affect font sizes, but does NOT change the upper/lower truncation.

Any thoughts?
Thanks!

What is your resolution and font scaling? We have 1 person using Windows 10 without seeing anything like that.

Re: Any users having font issues with RobotBuilder and Win10?

I have tried scaling (settings->display->"Change the size of text, apps, and other items") from 250% (the "Recommended" value) down to 100% and up to 300%. It scales the whole screen, with no relative change within the RobotBuilder window itself (at 100% you need much younger eyes than mine to navigate anything, as the whole robotbuilder screen is only about 3" wide!)

For resolution, I have tried the native (3200x1800), 1920x1080, 1600x1200, 1280x768, and even 800x600. All have the same relative behavior on the RobotBuilder window (i.e. identical to the original screenshot)

I have turned on the Magnifier, with the same (lack of) results.

I have attempted the "advanced sizing of text and other items" that appears at the bottom of the "advanced" options:
-- Changing the "change only the text size" affects the menu item fonts, but not the rendered fonts in the rest of the panes.
-- Changing the "Custom scaling" (which I did last time; requires logging out so I didn't retry it while typing this reply) had the same lack of effect.

This is the basic win10 upgrade, btw... virtually zero customizations on top of it as far as I recall.
